Plone Advocacy

Through Plone's open-source community, Enfold Systems continues to demonstrate our long-term commitment to share and contribute our knowledge, software and resources to benefit others.

Our involvement with Plone goes back to its inception.  Enfold Systems president, Alan Runyan, co-founded the Plone project and later the Plone Foundation.  Since the beginning, Enfold has hosted conferences / events, contributed software and dedicated resources to enable the use of Plone in larger and more complex organizations.
